Welcome to SpyderLovers, @Wannabe SpyderMan.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hello Spyder Enthusiasts,
At 73, and not having ridden a cycle for over 20 years, I decided to investigate the world of Trikes and, after some investigation, decided on a Can Am Spyder. Here are my problems - I will not purchase one until I have the opportunity to test drive. Unfortunately, the local dealers in the south Florida market (I live adjacent to Delray Beach and Boca Raton), will not allow test drives unless you go through the entire process of negotiation and paperwork. Secondly, I have a strong preference to buy used. I don't wish to purchase a new vehicle than find out 6 months later that I am not happy with it and get hammered with depreciation. There are surprisingly few used Spyders available from current owner/sellers, particularly anything close to where I reside.
Any suggestions?

Does Florida require a 3 wheel endorsement? Or just the standard 2 wheel endorsement? Then next question is F3 or RT? Get at least 2014 1330cc engine. Going to be hard to try a test ride if its been 20 yrs since riding. These 3 wheel gadgets are different than leaning a 2 wheeler

Can Am offers rider courses. Some to assist with getting a license and others just learn about riding a Can Am. Check for one in your area.
